To make matters worse, one of the most dramatic results of the strike will be a wave of belt-tightening at networks, including huge cutbacks on TV pilots and even worse, replacement of costly scripted shows with cheap reality programming

In the end, the consumers, who pay for everyone's pay, loses the most.

it's weird, though. most 'reality' programming has writers, and it's made really clear by the poor acting. but yeah i guess this means less breaking bad and more american idol.

ok,so forgive my inherent blindness,but WTF is a 'TV'?
